Realtime Cloud Collaborative

Realtime cloud collaboration is a powerful and scalable method of open source product development. A large team can work on development collaboratively. This is contrasted with proprietary development, where typically a closed process and developer hierarchy enforces single developers working in a linear fashion, with one task after another instead of in parallel.

If the nature of the task is understood, the cloud collaborative process can be scaled infinitely - limited only by the number of participants and the capacity of software algorithms and bandwidth. Proper design allows only diffs to be sent to and from a server, such that the process is highly scalable. Current algorithms in Google Docs and Collaborative Office should be examined and improved upon to create software that works for OSE.
